is this Murano?
« on: November 14, 2010, 02:52:10 PM »
Hi ,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this piece of glass. I know it is not Chalet - they used these colours but not this base and it is not Lorraine as they did use this base but notz these colours. The consensus seems to be Murano.

It is heavy, flouresces green under UV light and it beautifully done. The base is well integrated - the piece does not seem to just perch on top.

Thanks!

Hi Deb/CV:
Can we get bigger pics posted, as these are too small.  :spls:

I am wondering if it might be Czech?  As I have a piece of *pink* Czech glass Chribska ?????

Jindrich and Boda will know more than I.  I am sure they can Confirm.  I am just guessing here....?? 

thanks

Hi again,

My professional pics of this piece are too big re file size so I will get my better half to take some this afternoon and post again. I am a lousy photographer! Sorry about the itsy bitsy thumbnail size - can send the others if requested another way as have quite a few very good ones but as I said the file size is quite large.

Make a file copy of each large image and then rescale to an apt size would be quicker and easier than new pic's. Just add a 's' suffix to the rescaled file name to tell the difference easily.

Well... thats what I do.

I understand Anne is busy with family & other site matters.

GMB Committee may be able to help here > http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6522.0.html
So it goes.

Hi Misha,

Thank you - will do that with all my pics that are to be posted from now on! The ones I had taken for my site are obviously so much better than what I would have been able to provide! Can't believe I didn't think of that myself!LOL

Hi Deb.  This *Glows* brightly.  Do you have a colored pic of the Glow - as all I know there is a strong glow (uranium) glow -- then another glow (magnese) or something that also glows.  Would nice to see a color pic of the Glow.

Do you have a base pic?  Show any Good Wear on the Base?

thanks. Very nice lump of glass there -- Beautiful!!
